Usna Instruction 1531.51B Department of the Navy DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY 121 BLAKE ROAD ANNAPOLIS MARYLAND 21402-1300 USNAINST 1531.51B 2/ADAA 8 Aug 2017 USNA INSTRUCTION 1531.51B From: Superintendent, U.S. Naval Academy Subj: CLASS STANDINGS Ref: (a) COMDTMIDNINST 5400.6T (b) ACDEANINST 1531.60A 1. Purpose. To publish instructions regarding the overall, academic, and military standing of midshipmen. 2. Cancellation. USNAINST 1531.51A 3. Scope and Applicability. All faculty, staff, and midshipmen attending the U.S. Naval Academy. 4. Background. This instruction is a revision of its predecessor in order to clarify the calculations used for determining orders of merit. Policies regarding the Superintendent, Academic Pean, and Commandant's Honor Lists appear in section 9.3 ofreference (a). 5. Class Standings and Overall Order of Merit a. Class standings are based upon the Overall Order of Merit (OOM), which is a rank ordering of all midshipmen's Aggregate Multiple (described in 4.c below). The midshipman with the highest Aggregate Multiple in a class is ranked I 51 in the class, and the midshipman with the lowest Aggregate Multiple is ranked last in the class. Upon graduation, those midshipmen in the top 10 percent of their class are awarded their degrees "With Distinction." Those below the top 10 percent who achieve at least 75% of the maximum Aggregate Multiple are awarded their degrees "With Merit." b. Members of the first class whose graduations are delayed because of failure to complete requirements on time are assigned class standings based on the Aggregate Multiple among those graduating on the same date but after all those who graduated earlier. Appointments as commissioned officers will be effected on the date of graduation. Dates of rank will be assigned per current U.S. Navy and Marine Corps regulations and policies. c. The OOM for a class is determined via the Aggregate Multiple, which is computed by weighting performance in designated areas by ce1tain coefficients as indicated in Table I (Table of Coefficients) below. The multiple for each factor in Table I is obtained by multiplying the coefficient of that factor by either (1) the Semester Quality Point Ratio (SQPR) or (2) the mark or (3) the numerical value of the letter grade* (See reference (a)). The Semester Multiple is the sum of the multiples assigned for a given semester. The Annual Multiple is the sum of the multiples assigned for a given academic year. The Aggregate Multiple is the sum of the Semester Multiples to date. In computing the final Aggregate Multiple at the end of the first class year, no more than eight Semester Multiples will be included. For midshipmen who repeat one or more semesters, a weighted Aggregate Multiple will be used.

This exceptional procedure does not apply to midshipmen pa1ticipating in U.S. Service Academy Exchange Program (SAEP) since actual grades are transferred. (2) If an individual's Semester Multiple cannot be determined because of his/her extended absence during a semester for approved reasons, then the average of the available multiples is substituted for the missing multiple for purposes of service assignment. If such an individual is able to complete the graduation requirements on time, then the same substitution shall be made for purposes of determining the final class standing. ** NOTE 2: A higher or lower academic coefficient shall be assigned to a semester in accordance with the following: (1) 28 is assigned for a program of fewer than 15 semester hours unless (5) applies or the situation is covered by Note 1. In general, midshipmen enrolled in fewer than 15 semester hours are also ineligible for honors list consideration, as described in references (a) through (c). (2) 32 is awarded for the successful completion of a 19 semester hour program. Repeated courses do not count toward the bonus. (3) 33 is awarded for the successful completion of a 20 or more semester hour program. Repeated courses do not count toward the bonus. ( 4) 34 is awarded for Trident Scholars. (5) 33 is awarded for the completion of authorized graduate courses at other institutions ( e.g., as pait of participation in Voluntary Graduate Education Program) provided the semester program including the work completed at USNA is determined to be a full load by the Academic Dean and Provost. In these cases, the previous semester's SQPR is used in the computations. 2 USNAINST 1531.51B 7 Aug 2017 (6) 32 is awarded in the second term of the first class year for the completion of at least six semester hours of course work above that required by the major matrix in either the major discipline or in areas considered to enhance the major. Repeated or validated courses do not count for the bonus; however, course validation may permit a midshipman to take additional courses which do count toward a bonus. The Department Chair involved will report those qualifying to the Registrar. *** NOTE 3: The first semester aptitude grade for midshipmen of the third, second, and first class is a measure of military perf01mance during the first semester and the preceding summer. 6. Academic Order of Merit. The Academic Order of Merit (AOM) is based upon the CQPR. The midshipman with the highest CQPR has an AOM of 1, and subsequent lower CQPRs are rank ordered accordingly. 7. Militmy Order of Merit. The Military Order of Merit (MOM) is based upon the Cumulative Military Quality Point Rating (MQPR). The midshipman with the highest MQPR has a MOM of 1, and subsequent lower MQPRs are rank ordered accordingly. The MOM is not included on standard transcripts of records. a. Militmy Quality Point Rating (1) Quality Points: The point value of each factor listed in Table II is computed by multiplying the semester coefficient for the factor by the score or the numerical equivalent of the letter grade received, where: A = 4 B=3 C=2 D=l F = O (2) Military Quality Point Rating (MQPR). The militmy quality point rating is calculated by dividing the total military quality points earned in a given period by the sum total of the coefficients within the same given period. The Semester MQPR includes only those professional endeavors for that semester. The Cumulative MQPR includes all professional endeavors to date at the Naval Academy ( except for original grades of repeated professional courses).

The Professional Course Coefficient is applied to only those professional courses that every midshipman must take. The grades for those semesters with more than one such professional course will be the weighted average of all professional courses taken during the semester. The professional courses that every midshipman must take are: COURSE COURSE CREDIT NUMBER NAME HOURS NE203 Ethics and Moral Reasoning 3 NLllO Preparing to Lead 2 NL310 Leadership: Theory and Applications 3 NL400 Law for the Junior Officer 2 NN210 Basic· Navigation 2 NN310 Advanced Navigation 2 NS101 Fundamentals of Seamanship 2 NS43X Junior Officer Practicum 2 ES300 Naval Weapons Systems 3 8. The Overall Order of Merit (OOM). The Academic Order of Merit (AOM), and the Military Order of Merit (MOM) are often used as information in the evaluation of midshipman performance, especially for potential selection for or participation in special competitive programs and oppo1tunities at USNA. It is noted that the OOM is not a direct function of the AOM and MOM, and these rankings are not necessarily bounded by one another.

After studying in Marburg an der Lahn in Germany, you received a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley. Before and also after resuming your teaching position at the University of Kansas, Lawrence, you returned to German several times for research. You have made major contributions in the field of German art, literary and cultural history with numerous books, articles and lectures. Among them are works on Thomas Mann, Rainer Maria Rilke, Herman Hesse, but also your work on the German-Jewish I relationship called "Von Ungarnnach Auschwitz". Many of your books and articles have been published both in English I and in German.

  • The Order of Military Merit to Corporal R
    Chapter Three The Order Comes to Life: Appointments, Refinements and Change His Excellency has asked me to write to inform you that, with the approval of The Queen, Sovereign of the Order, he has appointed you a Member. Esmond Butler, Secretary General of the Order of Military Merit to Corporal R. L. Mailloux, I 3 December 1972 nlike the Order of Canada, which underwent a significant structural change five years after being established, the changes made to the Order of Military U Merit since 1972 have been largely administrative. Following the Order of Canada structure and general ethos has served the Order of Military Merit well. Other developments, such as the change in insignia worn on undress ribbons, the adoption of a motto for the Order and the creation of the Order of Military Merit paperweight, are examined in Chapter Four. With the ink on the Letters Patent and Constitution of the Order dry, The Queen and Prime Minister having signed in the appropriate places, and the Great Seal affixed thereunto, the Order had come into being, but not to life. In the beginning, the Order consisted of the Sovereign and two members: the Governor General as Chancellor and a Commander of the Order, and the Chief of the Defence Staff as Principal Commander and a similarly newly minted Commander of the Order. The first act of Governor General Roland Michener as Chancellor of the Order was to appoint his Secretary, Esmond Butler, to serve "as a member of the Advisory Committee of the Order." 127 Butler would continue to play a significant role in the early development of the Order, along with future Chief of the Defence Staff General Jacques A.

  • Creation of Order of Chivalry Page 0 of 72
    º Creation of Order of Chivalry Page 0 of 72 º PREFACE Knights come in many historical forms besides the traditional Knight in shining armor such as the legend of King Arthur invokes. There are the Samurai, the Mongol, the Moors, the Normans, the Templars, the Hospitaliers, the Saracens, the Teutonic, the Lakota, the Centurions just to name a very few. Likewise today the Modern Knight comes from a great variety of Cultures, Professions and Faiths. A knight was a "gentleman soldier or member of the warrior class of the Middle Ages in Europe. In other Indo-European languages, cognates of cavalier or rider French chevalier and German Ritter) suggesting a connection to the knight's mode of transport. Since antiquity a position of honor and prestige has been held by mounted warriors such as the Greek hippeus and the Roman eques, and knighthood in the Middle Ages was inextricably linked with horsemanship. Some orders of knighthood, such as the Knights Templar, have themselves become the stuff of legend; others have disappeared into obscurity. Today, a number of orders of knighthood continue to exist in several countries, such as the English Order of the Garter, the Swedish Royal Order of the Seraphim, and the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav. Each of these orders has its own criteria for eligibility, but knighthood is generally granted by a head of state to selected persons to recognize some meritorious achievement. In the Legion of Honor, democracy became a part of the new chivalry. No longer was this limited to men of noble birth, as in the past, who received favors from their king.

  • Beginners Called the Pleasures of English Coin-Collecting. by Far the Most Important of Mr
    OBITUARY MR. J. S. SHIRLEY-FOX, R.E.A. By the death of Mr. Shirley-Fox, which occurred on 3 June 1939, the Society has lost one of its most enthusiastic and lovable members. His contributions to this Journal were as follows: . Numismatic History of the Reigns of Edward I, II, and III (Vols vi-x). Written in conjunction with his brother H. B. Earle-Fox. The Cross as a Mint-Mark (Vol. v). Die-making in the Twelfth Century (Vol. vi). An unpublished halfpenny of John Baliol (vol. xxii) .. Besides these he made various contributions to the Numismatic Chronicle and wrote an admirable book for beginners called The Pleasures of English Coin-Collecting. By far the most important of Mr. Shirley-Fox's papers was "The Numismatic History of the reigns of Edward I, II, and III". This set a new standard in medieval numis­ matics, and the thoroughness and excellence of the work which he and his brother did in this connexion can be gauged from the fact that, although twenty-five years have elapsed since the last part of this work was published, subsequent discoveries have almost always gone to confirm the deductions then drawn, imd even of these there have been comparatively few. It was for this paper that he was awarded the Sanford Saltus Medal of this Society. Jointly with his brother he was also a medallist of the Roval Numis- matic Society. ~ Mr. Shirley-Fox specialized in the period from Edward I to Henry VIII, and in the course of many years put together a collection which for interest from the student's point of view ranked high among the private collections in this country.
